Bill Glasson leads Hawaii Championship

KAPOLEI, Hawaii — Bill Glasson moved into position for his first Champions Tour victory, shooting a 7-under 65 on Saturday to take a four-stroke lead into the final round of inaugural Hawaii Championship.

Winless in 46 starts on the 50-and-over tour, the 52-year-old Glasson had a 13-under 131 total. He won seven times on the PGA Tour in an injury-plagued career marked by more than 20 surgeries.

Glasson birdied three of the last five holes after dropping a shot on the par-4 13th.

“Finishing the way I did is going to help tomorrow,” he said. “I need to hit some fairways. That’s my thing. My irons have kept me in the ballgame. My driver, she’s not liking me right now. We’re having a little war. So, we’ll see who wins that battle.”
